EBooks are too expensive?
No paper, no printing costs, no shipping and distribution, no inventory, no shops, fuel costs, utility costs, etc. Why e-books as expensive as the hardcover or paperback? If publishers asking same fate as the music industry have? People feel cheated and can start copying illegally.
I have never seen an eBook so face as a hardcover, perhaps the back of the paper, but not difficult. They seem very cheap and not overcharged. The price is determined by the pages and authors state, and how long the book has been out. The price of the book is not intended to offset the resources used to pay the author and publisher. An author paid per hour. They are paid when finishing a book and how many books they sell. So I think it's fair to charge that much for a book, and who are not receiving an hourly wage or monthly.
E-Books Hold Next Chapter for Book Industry
